Wtf, why? I hope it won't start to suck now. Though I guess a few more episodes have already been finished.

what? Basquash is unsuccessful?
They should get the director of Mars of Destruction.
Only he can save the show! I'm sure.

This sounds like a positive move, though not a good enough reason for me to pick up the show again.

That's not surprising. It's an original show, not based on manga, game or novel so it doesn't have an established fanbase; the story is written by a westerner, the character designs are out of anime standard, etc, etc. It'll make better sales in US and Europe.

wait... how far had they gotten in production when the director was fired? For all we know they could've completed all but 5 episodes.

If it gets that far. But anyway, that explains a few things. I'm enjoying it, it's refreshingly different.

Same opinion here. Its not good nor exactly imaginative but it delivers it purpouse for me, that is entertainment

According to the official BBS of Hirata Yuzo (the chief animator of "Basquash!")]


You made a mistake. The chief animator is Hirata Katsuzou.

Oh, thanks. reading 雄三 as Katsuzo is really rare.

@CrystalFalls
well, there is no strict rule in writing Japanese names in alphabet unless one chooses a specific spelling, like
加藤 Kato or Katou
修三 Syuzo or Shuzou
東海林 Syouji or Shoji
In this case, Katsuzo and Katsuzou are essentially the same.

Syuzo, Shuzo, Syuuzou, or Shuuzou, but not Shuzou.

I see, so this site does not use a consistent system. It is sometimes o, sometimes ou, and sometimes both in the same name.
it's hard to be consistent when everybody has a different preference and no spelling is more "correct" than the other.

We should just switch the people DB to the Japanese, kanji, hiragana, etc.

Romaji is for suckers.

The official website of the anime indicates that the new director is Sato Eiichi (the director of "Kiss Dum: Engage Planet").

yeah, never touching this anime now...
My thoughts exactly....and I was thinking of giving it a shot eventually, since I'm not watching much at the moment anyway, but now....gah (Remembers being excited about Kissdum, only to quit after the horrible first two episodes)

So, what was this discouraging event?

It is extremely rare to see an anime director getting fired halfway into the series. Since I had no plans to watch Basquash, I will never find out what's wrong with it..

I hope this doesn't spell the end of Basquash. I really love the anime's refreshing outlook in every aspect.

This is very lolling, as it is from episode 8 onwards that the series evolved from just a "fine" to an "excellent" for me.

low sales of DVD killed him. But sometimes DVD sales have NOTHING to do with the quality of the series......

KissDum was......um......yeah.....

Let's really hope the new director discovers new talents....

Effed, the show hasn't been as exhilarating since the first episode but it's still pretty good, it's not like Lucky Star where the first episodes were completely unbearable to watch.


yeah i agree.
I hope that Basquash can recover though, cos it really is good.
